    We loved the ambiance and the food. I had the Blackened Cobia and I would get his every time. This…read moreis my new favorite here in the area!! The grouper bites are a wonderful appetizer as well. I can't wait to come back!

    Ok so it wasn't a very good experience here on Friday, July 3rd 2026 but you can see that this…read moreplace has potential. I strongly recommend that ownership review their leaderships handling of issues as they inevitably arise. The waiter started off strong and was attentive and good with recommendations. However that changed as the dinner went on and he disappeared. He highly recommended the grouper bites which we ordered. He also said he was going to request a "10 min hold" on our dinner orders so that they didn't come out with the appetizer, which we appreciated. When the grouper bites arrived, they simply were not as outstanding as he described. I would definitely prefer them to be a bit crispier as the batter was soggy and it just fell off, while the flavor was ok, no one at the table asked for the remaining bites that were left after passing the plate, so that tells me a lot with a hungry group. Next when our orders started coming out about 10 min after the appetizers were eaten, they only brought out 1/2 the table. The server who brought those out said the rest was right behind her. Well we waited for over 25min to finally receive the rest of the food for the table. Yikes!! Our waiter just disappeared after the first orders arrive and after 5 min of waiting we asked about the other plates. He was no where to be found after that for like 25 minutes. After 10 minutes, we flagged down a different waiter and requested help and they brought the manager over. Once the manager came over and then went back to the kitchen and then came back to take orders again from the plates that were not delivered. Our waiter was still MIA the whole time until AFTER the food finally arrived (which he didn't bring out BTW). Geeze...... Lastly the waiter again disappeared after briefly checking on if the food was ok after the final plates were delivered. I had to flag him down after waiting for him for 10-15 minutes after everyone was done just to try to pay the bill....... So let's discuss the food. I ordered the shrimp boil. The corn and potatoes were good and seasoned perfectly. They advertise that they serve Connecuh Sausage which I love! However after the boil came out they covered the sausage in something like old bay. Wow they should NEVER do that. Connecuh Sausage is delicious by itself. Don't ruin it by adding extra spice to it! Lastly the Gulf shrimp were large and plentiful which was wonderful. However, they WAYYYYYY over boiled them as they were mushy and hard to peel. This had so much potential to be a great meal but the kitchen didn't know how to prepare it. Now for the good part, the atmosphere was great. Beautiful sunset, outside. Nice breeze blowing across the outside dining. It was great seeing the large fishing boats coming in. This setting has so much potential!!! Overall I would like to think this was LIKELY just a bad night for the kitchen and our waiter, as I didn't see similar problems at other tables, but when you are spending this type of money, at a family dinner, you'd expect better food and service. And when the manager finally got involved you would think they may offer a very sincere apology and/or at least comp something, like the late dishes, or offer a free drink to the guests who waited, or even a dessert, however they didn't offer anything except our waiter offering a passing apology- like it was an just an inconvenience to have half the dinner party entirely finished with their meal (that had gotten cold BTW waiting on the final plates) before the other three ever received theirs. That lack of ownership to their mistake, especially with a manager knowing about it and having to get involved to resolve, was disappointing. It also tells me the root issue is leadership in both the front of the house and back of the house, as that mistake should have been addressed quickly and a personal follow up apology would have been very appropriate. Final verdict would be to proceed with caution here, until other reviews confirm that Zeke's is performing better AND that leadership is resolving issues and owning them when they inevitably arise. Thanks!
